Hehe good idea about splitting the coilovers....but I don't think it will work. The front are not the same as the back (just like springs and shocks are separated in terms of front and rear). Left and right are interchangeable though.

I'm a little confused right now about whether the shorter shock makes the car ride higher? I'm trying to picture it in my mind...The total height from the top of the shock tower to the bottom where it mounts to the car is fixed right? The height of the spring is what lowers it. I'm not sure, but isn't the bottom of the shock in a fixed location, and the top of it extends to reach the strut tower bolts etc on top? Maybe the spring perch on a shorter shock is adjusted so that the location of the perch is lower?

I'm just confusing myself, but all I know is my front is a lot lower than the rear with the H&R Sport springs...
